This trail is constantly climbing towards The Gap, generally wide and hard packed in the dry with sections of rocks & stones.

There are many places to stop and enjoy the stunning views both in front and behind you.

Great day out despite the weather. Once the sun broke through the views were brilliant.
In terms of fitness this needs to be high. It's a long old slog in the saddle. Enough food and water for the duration is needed.

Riding the Long Gap loop clockwise, this is essentially the peak of the first climb.
